I'mmm baaaack! Anyone miss me????? (please, anyone? anyone at all?)
Sorry I'm so late, but between problems with my computer (my Wonderland keeps "choking"

), a flat tire on the ATV (Ted's, not mine) ten miles back in the blackfly-infested woods on a lovely rainy day

, and some heavy duty spring cleaning, I haven't had much time to visit. However, I did spend a few minutes checking out the answers for the photos. What a great looking bunch we are!
Here's me in a nutshell (like you've heard that one before

)
My real name is Joyce-Maria, but shortened to Joyce for convenience, but I have been called Joy, Juice, Juicy, JJ and most recently (by my 3 year old niece- in-law) "Joey" - I answer to pretty much anything, and depending on how many beer I have in me, will answer to anything
I'm 5' 2", blonde hair (except twice a year when I dye it red to enhance my natural strawberry highlights), blue-eyed (except the green contacts when I'm in the mood or it's really sunny). My build is growing from medium to heavy since I got a job sitting down instead of running around 3 floors of a law firm every 20 minutes

Time to join the gym! I'm 34 years old, but often forget my age, and have to count the decades to get it right

.
I don't have children, and not in any hurry to have them either. I'm not very comfortable around them, since I prefer peace and quiet, but they always seem to be attracted to me. Kind of like cats - they're only attracted to people who don't like them!

(I really don't mind kids, in fact, I'm usually the one who gets them full of mud, flour or markers, and have fun getting
us all messy)
I'm not close to my sister, there's no real reason, except that our personalities are so different. My mother and I are much closer than we have ever been, which I am thankful for. My father died of arterial sclorosis when I was 17, and after 17 years (next month) I still miss him very much.
I have been with Ted for 6 years this September. I have two cats, Ray (Raymon Charles) is a "tuxedo" and is 13 this July (*sniff*) and Skeeter (Ted calls him Satan) is a gray tabby with dark gray tiger stripes and will be 5 next month.
My hobbies include: Wonderland (obviously!), reading historical and science fiction books, cooking and organizing jelly beans (don't ask!) and most recently driving my ATV through any and all mud puddles

My mother calls me a big kid, and after I was so serious as a child, she gets a kick out of it. At house parties, you can usually find me in the kitchen cleaning or cooking, and Heaven help anyone who gets in my way! I like to socialize, but I can't just kick back while there is work to be done.

Sometimes I'm outgoing, and sometimes I'm very introverted...depends on the crowd and my mood. When I'm on the ball, there is usually beverages coming out someone's nose because I like to make people laugh. You never know what's going to come out of my mouth, and if you piss me off, prepare to get the worst of the barbs from my sharp tongue.
Phew! I could go on
...."No! Please, someone shut her up!!!"
Okay, here's the scores. Before I give them, I have to tell you that not one person got my photo! Nada! Nodda one! Zilch! Zero!
Drum roll, please....badabadabadabada
